Held to Answer.

In Judge Taney's court yesterday it
was shown in the case of the People
vs. R. J. O'Rourke, charged with
having on the 9th inst. entered the
store of Albert Man & Co. on North
Main street with the intention OF COM
mitting robbery, that he did not actu-
ally commit the felony, but made an
attempt to do so. The gist of the testi-
mony adduced at the examination
was to the effect thet lady living
over the store had been aroused by
the sound of glass being broken,
and looking out saw O'Rourke at
tempting to enter. She spec. across
the street and notified some friends,
who ran out in time to see him tieelng
up the street and at a point little
further on he was captured by an ofii-
Ger. A large number OF witnesses
were examined, both for and against
the defendant, and he was held In
the sum of $500 for trial.

amusing himself by breaking. in the
windows of a number of real estate
offices, four panes being smashed for
Burch & Boal and three for Bell,

STRUCK WITH A YOKE.
An Employee of w. l.. Lewis
WOrsted ln a Fight.

w. L. Lewis, who keeps livery
stable on Spring street near Third, on
Tuesday paid off three of his hands
by means of checks. One of the men
named Chas. Simmons became intox-
icated, and when he proceeded to the
bank yesterday to cash his check he
appeared so drunk that the paying
teller concluded it would not be safe
to let him have the meney in his stu.
MD condition. Finding that he could
not get the $lS, Simmons became en-
ragged and went to Lewis stable with
a scantling nearly four feet long and
very heavy. No sooner did he see his
employer than he attacked him with
the piece of wood; but Lewis picked
up q neckyoke and defended him
self with such good effect thai
after three blows he had Sim
mons down and bleeding pro-
f,sely. Some one Immediately ran
to the police office to tell them that
one man was killing another. at the
stable. Captain Fletcher and Officer
proceeded there at once and
took the two men to the city Jail.
S;mmons was insensible. He had a
ong cut on the head which laid bare
he skull, and necessitate ! number
4 stitches one of his ears was torn
nd he also received a wound in the
,ack of his neck. Lewis was charged
,;fh assault but was released upon de-
asiting $50 for his appearance, and

Marrying COnstables.

Constable Martin Aguirre is Of the
impression that whenever a man at
tains to the dignity of being con-
stable his first move is to seek out a
constabless,-in other words, a wife.
He cites Johnny Griffin, Johnny
Cline and now Ed. Smith who would
have been married last night, if the
train bringing his intended had not
been eleven hours late. However,
Ed. will be spliced to-day. Aguirre
swears that he will not marry until
he becomes sheriff. The tidal wave
of marriage seems to have struck the
Sheriff's office also, as a license was
granted Charley Cruz, yesterday to
wed Miss Isabel Aguilar.

Aided An Escape.

A woman on Alameda street last
night solicited Officer Boland to enter
her house. The officer forthwith
proceeded to arrest the woman,
but was interfered with by a
tall, we'll dressed man who placed
himself between the woman and the
officer. The female was not slow in
availing herself of the assistance and
ran away by her back door. Boland
then arrested the man, who was
booked under fictitious name and
released upon depositing $30 The
charge entered against him was that
of aiding a prisoner to escape from
custody.

The Former is Proper, for When
it Comes it is Not To. Morrow,
But To-day.

Never put of till tomorrow what you
should.do to-day, and then you will be free
from the task of closing up yesterdays IS
business. There are thousands of cases of
sickness, that il taken in time' can be
ayerted Many special remedies for Bright's
disease and other kidney troubles are ad
vertised, but little attention has hitherto
been called to one of the very best.
LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is generally supposed to be remedy only
for female diseases, for which it is well
known to be the one unfailing cure; but it
is equally efiicacious for the diseases of the
male organs, and for all kidney mplaints.
Here are few testimonials "My son
strained himself and was miserable. He
could not stand on his feet and he wet the
bed. One bottle cured him." Mrs. W. of
North Walpole, Neb., writes; "I have taken
your Vegetable Compound for the last year
for kidney complaint, and find that it has
helped me SO much, after the doctor telling
me there was no help for me,
it has entirely cured me-" Mrs. NJ. !
Fayettville, N. Y, says: II think the Com
pound has acted on the kidneys more than
any other part of the body" Another lady
says: my little girl has not wet the bed
since gave her the frs, dose; the first time
in three or four years"
